Transmission Options...

I've looked on Audiusa.com but i'm still not clear.

So you CAN NOT get an A3 2.0T, Quattro, with a 6-Speed manual transmission?

Nope,

Quattro on comes with DSG

Soon you will be able to, but not right now

seriously, WTF?!?!?

as i've said on other threads, i am a DIE HARD Audi enthusiast, but this sh!t is ridiculous.

Audi has just given up on the pure driving enthusiast, it's a joke.

I wouldn't be surprised if they just had them in europe, audi hates north america :(

but yeah its pretty stupid that the 2.0t quattro manual isnt out yet..

Thats because enthusiasts dont buy enough cars to justify something like that.

**Malore** · 01-10-2009 07:45 PM

yeah, i understand that, but you can't completely ditch your hardcore fan/enthusiast/whatever. i think there is still a large market for manual transmissions...

I think all the companies are slowly trying to switch the world over to DSG / anything crazier that comes a long. The DSG A3 is faster than the manual A3 but nothing beats just having stick.
